It was a strange wind buffeted day yesterday. The wind has been relentless since we arrived but the days gradually warm up to t-shirt weather. Morning coffee always includes a tavli (backgammon) competition.
Morning coffee competition
We wandered through the morning in a sleep deprived state, finally accepting the fact that we needed a nap.
Rested and showered we ventured out again around 6:30pm to enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine at Jazzmin. It is a daily challenge to remember the names of familiar faces. It is doubly embarrassing when the familiar face remembers our names!! Juliana was one of those faces!! The sun set as we caught up on our lives and shared stories.
Later (9:30pm) we joined several others for a dinner prepared by Theo at his apartment. It was a delicious garlicky, mint risotto served with an arugala and tomato salad. The salad ingredients, freshly harvested in the morning, were from Nonda’s Organic Garden in Katapola. Local wine, also bottled by Nonda, was wonderful!!
Dinner conversation included descriptions of a photography project that depicts heroes/heroines from Fairy Tales after their stories end. This creative pursuit will take years to complete but the young photographer remains undaunted. He has accomplished two photos complete with models, make-up, costumes, setting (one was shot underwater). Bravo!!
Following dessert and a taste of sweet wine we walked back to the apartment and fell into bed after midnight. Hopefully our bodies will adjust soon to the 10 hour time difference and the late nights because we have been invited to parties tonight and tomorrow night!!
